We need to do all we can to eliminate poverty in this country. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the piece “The Rise of Poverty Inc." by Anne Kim in The Atlantic, which explores how poverty and helping the poor has become big business in the United States, and “Places across the U.S. are testing no-strings cash as part of the social safety net" by Jennifer Ludden in NPR, which highlights basic income pilot programs and their impact on alleviating poverty in this country, and what we learn and take away from these pieces about how best to address the issue of poverty in our continued learning and work for social justice and collective liberation.

Today's episode is part two of our three part mini-series on the problem, and this one is all about the foundational roots - which find themselves in paternalism and on the back of WWII.We talk about Poverty Inc, the Haitian rice market, TOMS shoes, and aid as a new form of colonialism, and conclude that with more aid comes less independence, which in turn creates dependency issues that fuels the $153 billion per year global aid and development industry. At the end of the day, we cannot reduce the poor to objects of philanthropic fulfillment for ourselves. Our wealth, or most often simply where we were born, has not qualified us to decide what is best for those who have less than we do.

We are doing good but we can do better.   In a continued conversation on faith and serving better, Jenny and Skyler talk about the two sides of missions and the effects these sides have on the individual missionary and the communities they interact with.   They add on their thoughts on how this can be done to best bring out the intended purpose of transformation and evangelism.   Mentions Skyler Womack Ozzie Womack Episode 34 of Season 2 Poverty Inc.

What causes poverty? It's a question that persists through time, but to have a real and meaningful response that changes this, we need to shift our idea of poverty and charity and start asking the right questions: What causes wealth?  To understand the implications of poverty and its solution, we talk with Michael Matheson Miller, host and producer of the six-part series Poverty Cure and the documentary Poverty Inc. This project, a series of 200 interviews and a documentary, was intended to create a resource with answers from different voices and perspectives, including philosophical and theological thinking about the problems of aids and the dominant humanitarianism that prevents prosperity, creating dependency instead. Michael Matheson Miller shares the consequences of the current humanitarian work related to the delayed development of business and the problem of what has been institutionalized as humanitarianism and reflects on the last through the Scriptures. In addition, it explains the importance of the difference between having a heart for the poor vs. having a mind for the poor related to crucial things. Finally, it also explains the importance of the rule of law, having a solid institution of law, and private property as the base of sustainability development. “When we give charity or foreign aid, we disempower local producers and harm economy and create dependency.”  Acton Institute: https://www.acton.org/  The moral podcast imagination: https://www.themoralimagination.com/  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-moral-imagination/id1468915450

Tamara Woodruff Bio:Tamara is a self proclaimed Justice Warrior, who is, admittedly, still learning what that means. She spent 7 years on active duty with the Navy as a Surface Warfare Officer (plus a few more as a Naval Reservist). She's now a Navy spouse who has lived all over the U.S. from Virginia to Rhode Island, Hawaii, Florida, Washington state, and Washington DC. She is currently living in the UK with her husband and two hilarious red headed sons. Her life is a constant series of transitions and she says she is absolutely terrible with change. She is an introvert, an enneagram 9, and a master of self doubt. A late adopter who is late to every party - but still somehow manages to be the life of it. She enjoys traveling, sitting on the couch doing nothing, and telling stories that make you laugh at her utter ridiculousness. She became a Compassionate Entrepreneur with Trades of Hope almost 5 years ago and it flipped everything she knew right on its ear. It's been a journey that has challenged her faith (or maybe just her religion), and her thinking, and her view of herself. The work she does with Trades of Hope feeds her soul, stretches her mind, and connects her with women all over the world. It also ensures that she is surrounded (at least electronically) by other women who spur her on to bigger things - which keeps her from spending too much time sitting on the couch doing nothing.You can connect with Tamara on Instagram or facebookSupport Tamara's work with Trades of Hope!tradesofhope.com/tamarawoodruffWe begin with a check-in Tamara: she said things are weird in the UK—back in lockdown 3.0, a new strain of covid, people working from home, closures... She is missing out of Christmas in London as well as many other holiday events. But she says that they are doing okay.Tamara almost doesn't remember what it was like to be a naval officer. It was the place that laid the ground work for her work with Trades of Hope; The Navy was the first place she heard the words “human trafficking.” Every year they had a training on how to recognize the signs of human trafficking, this is before she knew why it should matter to her. The Navy also exposed her to a lot different places and cultures around the world and even within the US as the Navy is “a fabulous mixing pot.”Maggie first met Tamara over five years ago while the Woodruffs were stationed in Washington State. It was also right at the beginning of Tamara's work with Trades of Hope. Tamara had learned about TOH from someone at previous station and was just in the transition of moving to Washington when she was asked to host a party. Having just moved she was not in good place to host and didn't know many people; she ended up "chickening out" and hosting Facebook party instead. This was before we all were hosting facebooks parties (due to covid). For her it was an awakening! Back then in 2015, TOH had artisans in 15 countries. Through that party she connected with a friend in Florida who had just returned from a prayer walk through the red light district in Mumbai, India, one of the largest red light districts in the world. Tamara had previously held many ideas of how women ended up in brothels up until this moment but what her friend told her changed her world. He told her the women in the red light district because they had been tricked. They usually came from large families in desperately improvised communities around India and Pakistan where they didn't have enough resources to feed themselves. Someone would come into these regions and tell these families that they had an amazing opportunity for them; “I'm going to take your oldest daughter into Mumbai. I'm going to give her a job. I'm going to provide room and board. And she's going to be able to send that paycheck home.” Then the girls were taken, literally locked in cages in the red light district doing things “I don't even want to try to envision.” Tamara said it was the first time she saw the connection between the desperate poverty in the world and how women end up being exploited.Trades of Hope was founded ten years ago for the sole purpose of providing employment for women so they are no longer vulnerable to being trafficked and exploited. That first party back in 2015 was her wake up call: “This is really happening. AND there is something I can do about it.”Maggie said she appreciated that Tamara was not deterred with how big the problem was—that though she could not solve the whole problem for all women everywhere, she could make a difference. It was a small start  that began to grow. Now Tamara has over $100,000 in sales.Tamara says, “My only regret is that I didn't try harder sooner.” For her it has always been "a starfish story" - Someone walking along the beach asking “why are you throwing those starfish in the water, you're never going to save them all?” And the answer is, “But to this one that I threw back in the ocean, it matters.”"2020 was the year we all pivoted and tried new things... we got desperate." It's not what we hoped it would be, but it's been a good year for Trades of Hope. The artisans have a small margin of being able to survive; It is life and death for them right now.Tamara didn't pivot immediately. When covid first hit she sat on the couch, she didn't know what to do (like most of us). When they moved to the UK she thought she was taking a sabbatical from her Trades Of Hope business… she thought she was going to travel around, explore and put her business on the back burner. But when covid happened, everything slowed down or shut down and then moved online. Tamara already had all the tools and resources for a completely online business since she had been hosting virtual parties for five years. It was the same model always used but she was newly committed and now (thanks to covid) she had extra time to share these women's stories."People were so receptive." At first she thought it was a terrible time to try to sell something. “Who wants to buy earrings right now?” But it turned out there were still enough people who had an income and cared about this life saving work.Even the artisans were able to pivot; They have learned to make beautiful masks which are now being sold. Sustainability for the artisans has always been a top priority for TOH. They've scheduled their orders in small batches, rather than two big orders a years because their artisans need money more than just twice a year. When covid hit they moved to releasing a new product every Tuesday as a way to continue to provide a steady and predictable source of income for their artisans. And all the TOH parties work for give back incentives including medical kits, solar kits, fresh water, animals…Danielle noted how these are empowering and generous gifts that are not restricting access to what they need, which can often happen with “colonial style giving.” Tamara said that Trades of Hope has always supported the idea that dignified sustainable employment is always better than charity. The goal is to empower people and end poverty.Tamara mentioned the documentary Poverty Inc - which is about empowering people out of poverty rather than making them dependent on charity.Tamara talked about her experience traveling to visit their artisans in Haiti (In 2016 TOH had two main groups of artisans in Haiti as well as a school and orphanage that they supported). There was a moment when the artisans and the compassion partners were sitting together rolling beads when she realized: "I can't work if she doesn't work. She can't work if I don't work. I want to provide for my kids just like she wants to provide her family. We would not have been able to do it from either side alone, we had to work together.”Fanm Djanm is the Haitian Rosie the Riveter. It's this idea that a Haitian woman can and will handle her own business.  One translation is “badass boss lady.” The Haitians don't doubt their ability, but having the resources is completely different.Tamara's new goal is to be more consistent with her work. She says her artisan sisters deserve for her work and get off the couch so they can work too.Tamara is reading: “A Women Firsts” by Edna Adan IsmailTamara is listening to Spotify Tony Robbins “Release the Power within” playlistTamara is inspired by the 2020 pivot—people, businesses and churches changing and innovating in this crazy covid time. People are finding a way.

A Revolution in American Medicine is Long Overdue Richard Gale and Gary Null PhD July 6, 2020   The sweeping occurrence of CoV19 infections has contributed to a loss of jobs, careers, regular education for our children and has adversely impacted the health of otherwise healthy people. But for tens of millions of Americans who have lost their health insurance or have not been covered, the situation is more dire. One illness, one infectious disease, could push them over the edge into insolvency and bankruptcy. Now is the opportune time to change course, bail out all Americans and cease providing taxpayer gifts to Wall Street, the rich and powerful.  The fundamental problem with Obamacare, and the proposed combination of a Green New Deal and Medicare for All, is that both leave the unconscionable profit making in the system. The medical lobbies, insurance and hospital industries and Big Pharma assure that if you are hospitalized with CoV19 and don't have insurance, you will receive a bill for tens of thousands of dollars. There is no power in the US at this moment that would prevent these private industries from foregoing a $3.5 trillion windfall profit annually. Therefore the Democrats who claim they want universal healthcare want it only on the condition that the existing system is not upended. Yet that is exactly what is demanded at this moment. The onslaught of misinformation from the corporatist wings of both political parties and media biases against universal healthcare are obviously confusing the electorate. This confusion leaves citizens bewildered about how they will pay their bills unless a fundamental overhaul of medical insurance is undertaken. More important, what will happen if you are diagnosed with a serious illness and are not fully covered? What are your chances of joining the ranks of the 530,000 families that file bankruptcy annually for medical reasons?  According to a study published last year by the American Journal of Public Health, 66.5% of bankruptcies are medically-related.  In the past, it was rare for people to go bankrupt because they did not have accessible medical care. There was a time in the US when medicine carried a higher standard of ethics. The Hippocratic Oath was respected and no one was denied medical care because they could not afford it.  But that was in the past. Obama's Affordable Care Act, which Biden continues to believe is a successful piece of legislation, has done little to mitigate the increasing financial burden on individuals and families. In fact, quality of healthcare has steadily declined. Now with the CoV19 pandemic, we are witnessing patients forced to pay out of pocket enormous bills for diagnostic testing, ER visits, hospitalization and treatments. If you are returning to the country from overseas, you may be forced to pay for the time spent in quarantine even if you test negative for the virus.  And the pharmaceutical and insurance industries are already capitalizing on this disaster. The Democrat Party's full throttle assault to undermine the legitimacy of Bernie Sanders' campaign was orchestrated by the insurance and medical industrial complex, which has influenced unbridled bias across the media waves. The goal is to effectively sustain Obama's failed healthcare efforts. After listening to dozens of commentators on CNN, MSNBC, Fox, and the pseudo-health journalists at the New York Times, and Washington Post, the false impression was created to perceive Bernie as only offering free stuff to everyone and at enormous cost to taxpayers.  No one truly knows how much a national universal program would cost. Forecasts for a 10-year period range roughly between $13 trillion and $48 trillion. One thing is certain. The math is simple. It would be extremely expensive and for it to succeed dramatic infrastructural changes would need to be made throughout the entire healthcare system and how medicine is conventionally practiced.  That conversation is long overdue. However, perhaps this is the wrong argument because it is based upon the Democratic Party's deep seated cognitive dissonance to protect the vested interests of Wall Street's financial community, Biden's allegiance to the credit lending industry, the military industrial complex, and the pharmaceutical and agro-chemical industries. In effect, the entirety of corporate America and the deep state, its lobbyists and oligarchic billionaires, and their sounding board in the mainstream media, are on one side of the scale while the urgent humanitarian medical needs of average citizens are on the other.  All that weighs on the side of Medicare for All are the educated adults, unionists, working people, and those who understand climate change and the need for a comprehensive and equitable healthcare system. This still remains to be a revolution that must take place across the nation. So, how does such a revolution get launched? First, Medicare for All is doable and affordable. In fact, it can potentially save $1.7 trillion a year by removing from the equation unnecessary and unconscionable profit to private insurance providers, the drug makers and the large mega-hospital networks.  There is no reason for having so many levels of bureaucracy between direct medical care and the patient. Every industry directly involved in providing treatment and care would continue to profit. But it would be a reasonable profit. Instead we have a medical lobby that is excessively greedy and eager to take advantage of loopholes in order to milk the system for whatever it is worth. But we can only have a viable Medicare for All after we seriously look at what it costs to treat a patient and make efforts to reduce the exorbitant waste that has been programmed into our current system. How is it that a hospital can charge $787 for an adult and $393 for a child for a one dollar bag of intravenous saline solution, plus an additional $127 to administer it? Americans spend more on prescription medications than any other developed nation, as drug prices can soar ten times the rate of inflation.  Daraprim, for example, which is prescribed to fight one of the world's most common parasitical infections that causes toxoplasmosis, can cost $45,000 per month, or $750 for a single pill that costs $13.50 to manufacture. When we consider the costs for treating CoV19, the figures get even more outrageous. An average Medicare payment for a common respiratory infection is about $13,300, and over $40,000 for an infection requiring a ventilator. That was in 2017, and the average costs have increased 20 percent or more in less than three years. Average out of pocket costs for being hospitalized for pneumonia is $1,300 and much higher for those covered by small business insurance. Cases of uninsured people being treated for Cov19 have received medical bills upwards to $35,000 and conservatively there are 28 million uninsured citizens in the US at this moment and rising as unemployment increases.  Consequently only 1 in 7 Americans polled would not seek CoV treatment because of the cost. Based upon earlier figures between 2012-2015, about $2.6 trillion can be saved by removing bureaucratic waste and profiteering. This includes $275 billion on private insurance paperwork, $55.6 billion on liability insurance, $471 billion for insurance billing, $140 billion for medical fraud (2016), $210 billion for unnecessary medical testing, and $190 billion for wasteful administrative services.  Back in 2016, the British Medical Journal reported that medical error is the third leading cause of death in the US.  As a result over $1 trillion is spent on avoidable medical errors.  Universal healthcare will not break the economy. What is breaking the economy is our current broken medical system.  Universal, quality care is easily within reach but only after the health of the population is given preference over the healthcare system's vulture capitalists. Then Americans will no longer have to worry about bankruptcy, which further contributes to the stresses associated with ill health, because they cannot afford the treatments or medications without putting themselves and their family into perpetual debt. Second, providing universal healthcare does not guarantee that patients will receive quality care. If we are truly honest with ourselves and ask whether the US has the best medical care available, the answer should be a resounding no.  American emergency medicine is exemplary as is specialized surgery. However, chronic care for treating heart disease, cancer, diabetes, pain management and neurological and mental health conditions has been a dismal failure. More physicians need to be brought into the system without the anxiety of paying off enormous school debt and being forced to work to exhaustion.  We would be wise to make medical education free in return for young doctors committing themselves to charging reasonable fees if they wish to remain within the system. If a doctor prefers to gouge patients, that is their right to do so outside of the national system. Finally, the US lags far behind in a implementing a national preventative program. Very little has been done to prevent diseases shown to be directly related to life-style, diet and toxic conditions in our environment.  A viable prevention program would begin by supporting and mandating holistic health programs in our schools beginning with grade school. Why does offering school courses in "How to be Healthy" seem absurd when it has been shown repeatedly in the scientific peer-review literature and efforts in other advanced nations to avoid preventable illnesses and further reduce medical costs? But in order to launch a comprehensive preventative  program at a national scale, only respected educated health consumers should be in charge. Entities representing private corporate interests should be prohibited since they are responsible for the medical disasters that now demand for universal healthcare.  If Obamacare and the current corporate medical establishment were truly effective, there would be no discussion about Medicare for All. Hence this program would save nearly $2 trillion a year and help prevent tens of millions of diseases. The nation would be much healthier if comprehensive measures were taken to prevent disease in the first place. During the past three years we have sent on multiple occasions suggestions for implementing a Medicare for All to the Sanders' campaign and leading Democrats in Congress. But not a single person has responded. What does that tell us about the sincerity and commitment of those who profess universal healthcare but get their funding and marching orders from the drug industry?   Richard Gale is the Executive Producer of the Progressive Radio Network and a former Senior Research Analyst in the biotechnology and genomic industries.   Dr. Gary Null is the host of the nation's longest running public radio program on alternative and nutritional health and a multi-award-winning documentary film director, including The War on Health, Poverty Inc and Plant Codes.

Show Notes  Today I plan to dedicate our show to an unsung but essential topic: I want to discuss the potential shortcomings related to economic and social aid to the Developing World, (or in old terms, 3rd World countries). Basically, the question is this: is your investment in the poor and disenfranchised in the Developing World being administrated with the longer term needs of communities being considered, or… is it about short term walk away money? My guest, Darrel Larson, has vast philanthropic experience in several foreign countries, including Fiji, the Philippines and several countries on the continent of Africa. With hearts for developing the social good to the most needy in the world, Darrel and I will spend our time today discussing how oftentimes, our desire to serve the poor and disenfranchised can frequently result in short-term benefit, but longer term disadvantage. I recently watched a documentary titled, Poverty Inc. (a quite informative and a bit disturb documentary) that developed the concept stated in Steve Corbett’s popular book, When Helping Hurts. The thesis: if we give resources such as money, or in my case water wells, without empowering the communities to assume responsibility of these gifts we have given them, the result can be “dependence on foreign aid,” instead of independence, self-determination and self-respect. Like the familiar adage, we are giving them fish, not teaching them to fish. Today, we will discuss the idea of projects “with” locals verses projects “to” locals. Three types of giving will be discussed: Relief Giving, Alleviation from Poverty Giving, and finally, Developmental Giving. My guest, Darrel Larson is a seasoned vet in international affairs regarding poverty. He is currently International Director of Sawyer Filters, which provides clean and safe water for thousands of homes across the world. Darrel is also founder of the non-profit, Give Clean Water, and he has served Outreach Pastor at two churches in San Diego.   For more with Charlie Hedges please visit www.thenextchapter.life

The thesis: if we give resources such as money, or in my case water wells, without empowering the communities to assume responsibility of these gifts we have given them, the result can be “dependence on foreign aid,” instead of independence, self-determination and self-respect. Like the familiar adage, we are giving them fish, not teaching them to fish. Today, we will discuss the idea of projects “with” locals verses projects “to” locals. Three types of giving will be discussed: Relief Giving, Alleviation from Poverty Giving, and finally, Developmental Giving. My guest, Darrel Larson is a seasoned vet in international affairs regarding poverty. He is currently International Director of Sawyer Filters, which provides clean and safe water for thousands of homes across the world. Darrel is also founder of the non-profit, Give Clean Water, and he has served Outreach Pastor at two churches in San Diego.   For more with Charlie Hedges please visit www.thenextchapter.life

What You'll Hear: Art Lindsley in 4th grade at a summer camp committed his life and felt forgiveness and closeness to the Lord He got a BS in Chemistry, a Master of Divinity and PhD in Religious Studies. He worked at the Ligonier Valley Studies Center with R.C. Sproul for 6 years as Director for Educational Initiatives and for 25 years at the C.S. Lewis Institute partly as President and has been at The Institute for Faith, Work and Economics for 6 years In his book "For the Least of These - A Biblical Answer to Poverty", he talks about the poverty industry and quotes from the book "Toxic Charity", Bob Lupton saying "You give once you elicit appreciation, you give twice you create anticipation, you give 3 times you create expectation, you give 4 times it becomes entitlement, you give 5 times you establish dependency" The book "Dead Aid" essentially states that the U.S. ought to stop giving Africa aid as a long term solution. 85% of the aid has gone to a place other than which it was intended. A great film "Poverty Inc." talks about the need for a new paradigm dealing with poverty. There is often a missing small/medium business in these countries.  In one case, some in Hollywood sent 100,000 miscuito nets which drove the local African business out of business In Deuteronomy when it said "you'll always have the poor" it meant we'll never have an excuse for not helping the poor The best way to help the poor is to help affirm their dignity as image bearers of God and give them an opportunity to apply their gifts Peter Greer from Hope International asked some poor people how they defined poverty, the answers almost 100% did not deal with money In 1800, 85% were living in desperate poverty, in 1950 50%, in 1992 25%, in 2007 15%, now 10%, almost solely through enterprise Any attempt by government has to take into account that the ultimate goal is to empower people Government, non-profits, and business all have a role In almost every case he would prefer the church rather than government help the poor About 30% of what you give to the government goes to help the poor, about 30% with a non-profit goes to help the poor In the past, the church did take the responsibility of helping the poor In his book "Counting the Cost: A Christian Perspective on Capitalism", he found an argument against abuse is not an argument against use In Lindsley's book about C.S. Lewis, he wrote that Lewis as a young boy had a problem with prayer and quit praying because he found it inadequate. Lewis found that just because something is old or something from the past that it is wrong. He also struggled with the problem of evil. He found that if evil is real, there had to be a sufficient basis for it. A discussion between Lewis and Tolkien about myths made a big impact on Lewis. Lewis found a contradiction between his reason and his imagination. From his book "Love The Ultimate Apologetic", 2 of the major worldviews that standpoint against Christianity, Atheism (all is natural) and Eastern Religion (all is spiritual) provide no basis for love. The path to love  Work - Jesus was a small business-man for about 20 years and was noted in His field for being excellent at what He did and He spent 3 years in ministry. It must be OK to be in business and to work with your hands. Work-life balance - we're called to be faithful in every area of our lives (God, church, family, work, health). No one area is to drive out the others. There should be a compatibility between these things. There's always a way to make time for everything if you work with your schedules. Our ultimate purpose from Genesis is to work. Because of the Fall, we have alienation from the creation (our work). We are to reverse the effect of sin through redemption including work. Work is valuable in and of itself. Most people don't fully grasp that. One professor said there are times when it's immoral to share the Gospel at work. We don't just work to share the Gospel or to make money. The primary purpose of work is to be faithful with the gifts God has given us.

Hank is joined for the first time on Hank Unplugged by one of his favorite guests from the Bible Answer Man broadcast, Dr. Jonathan Witt. Witt is a prolific author and a Senior Fellow with the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture. Witt was the lead writer of the hit documentary Poverty Inc., in addition to being the author of books such as The Hobbit Party: The Vision of Freedom That Tolkien Got, and the West Forgot, A Meaningful World: How the Arts and Sciences Reveal the Genius of Nature and his latest book Heretic: One Scientist's Journey from Darwin to Design written with Finnish bioengineer Matti Leisola. Witt has studied and written on a number of subjects, and this wide-ranging conversation is evidence of just that. Topics discussed include: how the study of aesthetics got Witt involved in the Intelligent Design movement (4:10); why the Intelligent Design movement is the premier movement today due to a willingness to follow the evidence wherever it leads (5:40); why Witt wrote the documentary Poverty Inc., investigating the problems with the industry of foreign aid (7:10); TOMS shoes as a hipster poverty machine (10:45); the problem of donor dependency (13:05); the present war on poverty as another permutation of colonialism (15:30); how has Poverty Inc. made a difference on how people view humanitarian aid? (18:00); the deficits of the Marshall Plan (21:30); skepticism about how evolution explains everything without explaining anything (24:00); the difference between science and scientism (27:50); conflating microevolution and evolution (29:30); constrained optimization and why so many engineers are proponents of Intelligent Design (35:00); a recent article Witt wrote on conflating understanding and acceptance of evolution (39:55); “all of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone” (43:10); A Meaningful World: How the Arts and Sciences Reveal the Genius of Nature (44:10); Darwin vs. Beauty: Explaining Away the Butterfly (47:35); Witt's new book, The Hobbit Party: The Vision of Freedom That Tolkien Got, and the West Forgo, and what Christians can learn from Tolkien (53:00); exploring the many reasons why it is critical to learn to read the Bible in the sense in which it is intended to be read (1:00:05); the problem with trying to read scientific paradigms into scriptural passages (1:18:40); becoming so familiar with the truth that when a counterfeit looms on the horizon, you know it immediately (1:00:50); the functional value of secular feminism, abortion on demand, and sexual freedom (1:02:30); Christian involvement in the culture wars and examples of hope (1:04:15); and raising Christian children (1:08:05).

Walter Block joins us for our Thanksgiving Special. Being the beginning of the holiday season, with good will toward man and all that, it felt appropriate to discuss charitable giving and the premises of the documentary, "Poverty Inc.". One recommendation, before watching the movie, please read the article by Block and Fryzek, then watch, then re-read the paper. You will get much more out of the movie and gain some economic insights that are easily missed. Show notes at www.ActualAnarchy.com/51 Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/AnarchoCapitalist perspective. We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking.   Discussion of the plot and decisions that characters make in relation to morality and violations of the non-aggression principle are our bread and butter. We also will highlight and discuss any themes or lessons from Austrian Economics that we can glean from the film. The point is to show what anarchy actually is with instances that are presented in film. We publish at least once per week; and occasionally will do specials surrounding holidays or events (elections/olympics) and have guests. SUBSCRIBE, RATE AND REVIEW ON APPLE PODCASTS (or iTUNES)

The global poverty aid industry is big business, with the West spending more than a trillion dollars in the past decade on programs to promote development. Filmed in 20 countries, Poverty, Inc. unearths the uncomfortable side of international charity, finding that much of it hurts the world’s poor more than it helps them. Join us for a screening of the documentary that explores how perverse incentives, lack of local knowledge, and weak institutional environments combine with altruism and cynicism to produce sometimes catastrophic results. The record of aid contrasts with the film’s portrayal of the dignity and productive potential of the poor. Co-producer Mark Weber will briefly answer questions after the screening. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
